The term used to describe techniques that might be used to 'trick' search engines into ranking a website high up in their search results - such as the repetitive use of keywords, hidden text or keywords unrelated to the site's content. Search engines will penalise websites that use such methods and will either downgrade them in their rankings, or exclude them completely.
